Well I have very interested in the GP2x. The promise of emulation and a portable media center that could hook up to my tv (i could use it for all the tv torrents I download)... but the US launch has seemed all but lackluster. not one person from the US has posted a picture of their unit, I've only seen pictures that look more or less professionally done than the actual unit in anyone's hands. THen I find out there are a huge list of problems with the thing! Batteries, screen, 2 gb sd card problem, the headphone jack, people are saying that its made using non government sanctioned machinery, uses cheap LCD screens and the soldering job is rushed and poor. Why would I waste my money when I hear all of this and have yet to see how good the thing is. there has yet to be a truthful review about it.
